Linking potential heat source and sink to urban heat island: Heterogeneous effects of landscape pattern on land surface temperature
TLDR
Regulating landscape composition and configuration would help mitigate the UHI in megacities by showing that landscape composition has more significant effects on thermal environment than configuration.About:

Investigating the effects of 3D urban morphology on the surface urban heat island effect in urban functional zones by using high-resolution remote sensing data: A case study of Wuhan, Central China
Xin Huang,Ying Wang +1 more
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the relationship between 2D/3D urban morphology and summer daytime LST in Wuhan, a representative megacity in Central China, which is known for its extremely hot weather in summer, by adopting high-resolution remote sensing data and geographical information data.

Yuanhong Deng,Shijie Wang,Xiaoyong Bai,Yichao Tian,Luhua Wu,Luhua Wu,Jianyong Xiao,Jianyong Xiao,Fei Chen,Fei Chen,Qinghuan Qian,Qinghuan Qian +11 more
TL;DR: The LST can be retrieved well by the atmospheric correction model from Landsat 8 data and is controlled by altitude, underlying surface type and aspect, which provides a reference for land use planning, ecological environment restoration in karst areas.

Monitoring surface urban heat island formation in a tropical mountain city using Landsat data (1987–2015)
Ronald C. Estoque,Yuji Murayama +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of surface urban heat island (SUHI) in a tropical mountain city of Southeast Asia (Baguio City, the summer capital of the Philippines) using Landsat data (1987-2015).

Spatiotemporal patterns and characteristics of remotely sensed region heat islands during the rapid urbanization (1995-2015) of Southern China.
TL;DR: In PRDR, RHI expended with increasing connectivity, especially in the estuary areas where isolated UHI gradually merged during the rapid urbanization, and the area of 4 °C ≤ Relative LST is the stable and high-risk area, which provide scientific bases for the governance of the thermal environment on the regional scale.

Geographically Weighted Regression: The Analysis of Spatially Varying Relationships
TL;DR: In this paper, the basic GWR model is extended to include local statistics and local models for spatial data, and a software for Geographically Weighting Regression is described. But this software is not suitable for the analysis of large scale data.

Estimation of land surface temperature-vegetation abundance relationship for urban heat island studies
TL;DR: In this article, the applicability of vegetation fraction derived from a spectral mixture model as an alternative indicator of vegetation abundance was investigated based on examination of a Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) image of Indianapolis City, IN, USA, acquired on June 22, 2002.

Use of normalized difference built-up index in automatically mapping urban areas from TM imagery
Y. Zha,Jay Gao,Shaoxiang Ni +2 more
TL;DR: The devised NDBI method was applied to map urban land in the city of Nanjing, eastern China and results at an accuracy of 92.6% indicate that it can be used to fulfil the mapping objective reliably.

Impacts of landscape structure on surface urban heat islands: A case study of Shanghai, China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated how landscape composition and configuration would affect UHI in Shanghai metropolitan region of China, based on the analysis of land surface temperature (LST) in relation to normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), vegetation fraction (Fv), and percent impervious surface area (ISA).
